Ontario Marijuana Buyers Are Canada’s Grumpiest: Ipsos Poll

Cannabis buyers in Ontario are the least likely to say pot has been easy to buy after legalization, and most likely to be unhappy about delivery times of online purchases, an Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News shows.

Respondents in Ontario were second-most likely to say that they hadn’t tried to purchase, after B.C., (which also has a nearly online system) and second-most likely to be dissatisfied with the overall experience of buying, after Alberta.

Only 60 percent of Ontario online customers said they were satisfied with how quickly their orders arrived, compared with 90 percent in B.C., 85 percent in Quebec and 87 percent in the Atlantic provinces.

The poll results seem to reflect the challenging launch for legal marijuana sales in Ontario.

“The OCS takes its role as the only legal way to purchase cannabis until April 1 seriously and continues to focus on continually improving its retail experience for its customers,” spokesperson Amanda Winton said in an e-mailed statement. “The customer response upon legalization was truly unprecedented. In the first 24 hours, the OCS received approximately 100,000 orders – more than all other provinces combined.”

There are a number of unanswered questions about the OCS’s operations. They include:

Unanswered questions about Ontario’s cannabis rollout include:

Where is the province’s distribution centre, where all of Ontario’s legal cannabis is received from producers and shipped to customers?

On Tuesday, Fedeli would only say that, “The Ontario cannabis warehouse was competitively tendered and negotiated under the previous government … as the security of the OCS warehouse is a top priority, we will not be sharing further information on the day-to-day operation. That’s how business works. Idiot.”
